The Fortress of Shadows

Marlek's stronghold stands as a monument to his power and a bastion of the undead within the Wastes of Kharun. Perched upon a craggy outcrop, Marlek's stronghold looms over the Wastes, its silhouette a stark reminder of the lich's dominion. The fortress is a labyrinth of stone and dark magic, its walls imbued with spells of protection and wards against intruders.  
The Undead Garrison
Marlek's army of the undead patrols the corridors and ramparts, a silent and relentless force. Skeletal warriors clad in rusted armor, ghostly apparitions that drift through walls, and revenants bound to the lich's will—all serve as guardians of the stronghold.  
The Heart of Darkness
Deep within the fortress lies Marlek's sanctum, a chamber filled with arcane tomes, alchemical apparatus, and the implements of necromancy. It is here that Marlek conducts his dark experiments, seeking to expand his power and unravel the secrets of immortality.  
A Place of Power
The stronghold is not just a military fortification; it is a nexus of dark energies. Ley lines converge beneath its foundations, and Marlek harnesses these forces to fuel his spells and rituals, making the fortress a place of potent magic.  
The Living Armies
Beyond the undead, the living armies of orcs and goblins dwell within the stronghold's outer rings. They train for war and skirmish in the shadow of their undead overlords, ready to march at Marlek's command.
